  • Experience building controls, reconciliations, and documentation
  • Team leadership or mentorship experience
  • Merchant acquiring economics (ISO/agent, referral, direct sales models) preferred
  • Experience working with Product, Analytics, or Engineering teams preferred
  • Familiarity with processor reporting and fee-level revenue components preferred
